About the Game

In 1889 Trade, you manage production and trade volatile commodity markets. Start small with Wood and Cereals, then expand into new resources as you grow your operations. Prices move over time—sometimes calmly, sometimes violently—so every buy, sell, and upgrade matters.

KEY FEATURES

  • Trade evolving markets: Prices change over time with sudden SHOCKS and CRASHES that can make—or break—your strategy.

  • Grow your production: Upgrade your operations to increase output and scale into new commodities.

  • Expand your portfolio: Unlock additional resources beyond Wood and Cereals as you progress.

  • Manage the pressure: Deal with fees and taxes while keeping your finances stable.

  • Strategic simplicity: Easy to learn, hard to master—plan ahead and adapt to market swings.
